Google Photos adds private messaging to make it easier to share photos

San Francisco: Google is making it easier to share everyday moments quickly through Photos by adding a private messaging feature.

Earlier, to share individual photos through the app, one needed to create an album for a single photo and share the link.

Now when you share one-off photos and videos, you will have the option to add them to an ongoing, private conversation in the app.

“This gives you one place to find the moments you’ve shared with your friends and family and keep the conversation going,” Janvi Shah, Product Manager for Google Photos, wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.
